Moon At The Window

Many thanks to Pat Hillis who tabbed most of this with minimal help from
me! When I play the 12th fret chord I mix in a little harmonics ala Joni
but since my guitar is old and doesn't ring the way it used to it doesn't
sound great all the time.

Verse 2:
People don't know how to love
They taste it and toss it
Turn it off and on like a bathtub faucet
Oh, sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find
At least the moon at the window
The thieves left that behind.

Is it possible to learn
